Coffee Shots: Common Sense driving

All aboard Ukip’s Common Sense battle bus! Today Nigel Farage’s party took the fight to Portsmouth – or more precisely, Portsmouth and Southsea Station. It’s not entirely clear what the station did to offend Ukip, but the party’s battle bus accidentally collided with it while trying to execute a U-turn.

Hopefully it’s not an omen for what will happen when the party drives back over previous commitments made in its 2010 manifesto.

Do you want to know how many Damascene conversions your posts have resulted in? How many sensitive souls were going to vote for nasty, nasty UKIP and thanks to you are now going to stick with Cabbage Patch Doll?

Do you want to audit the threads underneath your puerile contributions and then take a wild guess?

Do you? You are about six rungs below a standing joke, son. You want to get yourself a proper job.

Now that’s what I call a proper smackdown. Well done.

I am guessing it was a woman in the driving seat?

Maybe Lenny Henry cut the brake pipes.

Received my UKIP election pamphlet through the door today.

Guess what? We can’t control immigration unless we leave the EU !

I know where my vote’s going

We never get election pamphlets though our door, regardless
of the election. We do live in a rather rural spot I suppose,
and a long path for the postman to walk up. And he has to deal
with cows,and all sorts before he even gets to the path. We did have a lovely black lady move into the village
but had to move out because she couldn’t drive. We have
a charming Indian doctor in the surgery, and he doesn’t have an issue with being the only In the village.

Well, if it was a woman and associated with UKIP, then expect the Speccie teenagers to begin pitching naked photographs pronto.

Seems to me the thing about the UKIP claque is they can dish it out but can’t take it.

WatTylersGhost

We have to take it, day in, day out, from the LibLabCons and their media stooges, but it doesn’t mean we won’t fight back. You can lie down and get shafted by another bunch of social democrats if you please, but they will roger me no more.

Shorne

Rubbish, the UKIP claque spend all day trying to outdo each other in devising even more vituperative things to call those they see as their opponents. Ad hominem attacks involving phrases like ‘lefty scum’ abound.
Iain Martin has described it well in a recent Telegraph article “hardliners from among the Ukip hordes – increasingly almost as intolerant of dissent as hardline Scottish nationalists…shouted at by golf club bar bores.”

Lady Magdalene

I’m amazed that The Speccie thinks we’re going to subscribe for their rag, when all they seem able to do is write pathetic little smears about UKIP.
Don’t they have any real journalists there any more?

Chingford Man

No.

Frank

The Telegraph seems to have sacked vast numbers of experienced journalists, so it and the Speccie are left with interns and those (presumably) nobody else wants to offer a job to. It could of course be this absurd drive to do podcasts and insert videos into everything that is hacking off experienced journalists?

Kitty MLB

Another UKIP article. What about a spot of poetry, there has been other threads
today- all ignored.
I shall just say, I am surprised no one has not taken offence to the colour purple
and said its offensive or prejudiced in some way.
Such as against alcoholics, people with heart or circulation problems etc..
all go somewhat purple…Yawn !!!!

anncalba

Is this today’s anti UKIP story then? How nice it would be if the media would tell us something about why we should vote LIB/LAB/CON in the Euro elections – you know, some reasoned arguements – rather than just every day finding a new anti UKIP angle. I’ve never voted UKIP., but if this daily barrage of non stories continues, I certainly will. This is not journalism, it’s propaganda.

telemachus

No
Vote Ukip
Then in 2015 there will be enough head of steam to split the Tory vote in all the 43 Tory marginals and deliver a famous victory to the reasonable

Colonel Mustard

Apparently not. Same old tedious crowing about a party that is far from reasonable.

Pepperless

Telemachus, Just a we advise, I think you should take one week off The Spectator you seem to want to dominate discussions all the time and you are getting boring now.

the viceroy’s gin

Come on, bus crashes are a droning bore. Don’t you Speccie kids have some more naked young nubile UKIPers like below? That’s a much more entertaining smear.

WatTylersGhost

In the meantime the Tories smash HS2 across our beautiful country – b*stards.

colliemum

What we really need to know is if that bus driver is a member of UKIP! Just think of tomorrow’s headlines if he is – the scandal! UKIP driver demolishes BR station! Outrage!

Anything to do with UKIP is better than taking a long hard look at the LibDems and their long-term pedophile MP, never mind that he’s late, like Jimmy S., isn’t it.
/sarc

telemachus

I have it on good blog rumour that the driver is a second generation immigrant taken on when they did not know this

Colonel Mustard

So you are back then. How went the urgent and desperate Labour online trolling damage control meetings then? Got a new script?

tjamesjones

I’m definitely not labour, but telemachus is funnier than any ukipper has even been. Earnest indignation however, is all yours.

Denis_Cooper

That would probably be over the maximum reading of 10 on the Faux Outrage Scale devised by the eminent French psychologist M Faux.

Paul Vickers

Proves UKIP are backing (into) British Rail – by demolishing their corporate facade…
